smooth(clamp01(boolX), clamp01(boolX)*(f/c))
f = activation frequency (Hz)
c = total activation count
boolX = some boolean data type (e.g. FireWeapons)
If the boolX is on, the target value is set to 1, the rate of change becomes f/c, thereby increasing by that amount every second.
You can have stuff activate every for > n/c, where n is the order number of the "activatee"
e.g. a series of 5 detachers would go 1/5, 2/5, 3/5.. etc.
This means weapons that are fired by FireWeapons, but w/o having to be an actual "weapon" and much more. The irreversible boolean can be used in other scenarios to define a soft cap for certain inputs. e.g. a usage limit for certain functions.
The test craft provided below shoots objects at a maximum rate of 1 shot / sec. Note that the input does not revert to its zero state.

Funky trees really expands your options, doesn't it... Lots more cool stuff will be coming from me as soon as the patch drops for everyone. Planning on my long lost SP dream a reality too.
Ok, I will check it out... there are so many times when I wanted to operate gadgets in series! @SnoWFLakE0s

Update, as in newer? This still works- it's a perfectly viable application still (as of 1.9.203).
Brilliant work! do you have an update to this?
You could use this to make a space shuttle that had the landing gears work correctly. @SnoWFLakE0s

Sure!
Sounds about right. I would have done it myself, but I don’t have much time to play SP. Thanks!
You could use this function to do a ripple release on a group of bombs, say for my F-105.

Adds an extremely, extremely useful set of variables and functions.

Very simple, simply start with
smooth(clamp01(boolX), 1/d) = 1, wheredis the delay in seconds. Will returntrueorfalse. Also note that behavior is delayed activation when boolean istrue& immediate deactivation on boolean becomingfalse.I don’t get it, what do the new features do?
Very nice. I was actually thinking about trying to do something like this. Another possibility with the smooth function may be adding a delay to a Boolean input. Perhaps you could look into that for me?
